Overall, social media platforms were filled with a combination of excitement for future console players, as well as nostalgia for PC players considering joining in on the New World Aeternum fun on October 15, 2024.

      Seasonal worlds. New OPR map. New artifacts. Seasonal events. Pick-up wars. Battle Royale. And so much more - the future of New World: Aeternum is looking bright.
      The New World: Aeternum developers have officially broke their silence since the launch of the game with some very exciting news, which includes a living roadmap!
      This roadmap is categorized in three different sections:
      Next Season (short-term): What is coming in the next seasonal update. In-Development (mid-term): What is in active development and will be coming in upcoming systems (within 2-3 seasons). In-Exploration: Ideas from the developers that are being part of discussions. These are features that have been heard from characters, and not yet decided on whether or not they will be implemented to the game. The full living roadmap (as it stands today) can be viewed below.

      The major changes that players will begin experiencing in season 7 are captured below with additional details:
      Seasonal World 1: PvP Focus: New World: Aeternum will be introducing dynamic, limited-time servers designed to deliver unique gameplay experiences. The first season world (coming in Season 7) will be "PvP Focus", where every player playing will be flagged for PvP at all times. By defeating other players, you will be able to obtain special loot, including unique items and valuables. New Outpost rush (OPR) Map Preview: A new OPR map is finally coming! In Season 7, players will be able to get a closer look and experience a preview of this new map during a special weekend event - keep your eyes open for additional details coming soon. Mutated Expedition Updates: All mutations will receive a buff in overall loot, enticing players to experience mutated expeditions for more sought-after loot and valuables. Daily Solo Trials: Three new soul trials will be added to the game, including "A Mother's Dream", featuring Empress Zhou, "Tempest's Mind", starring Isabella, and "Saichi Soto", offering all-new encounters that push players to their limits. New Artifacts and Perks: Season 7 introduces eight new artifacts to enhance gameplay and strategy (7 weapons, 1 earring). There is a good chance that at least one of these artifacts will impact the meta. To learn more about New World: Aeternum, and experience the lands of Aeternum, click here.

      The long-awaited black dye and hippos are introduced into New World: Aeternum. Learn more about what they look like, and how you can get them!
      New World: Aeternum surprised the community today with some brand-new, long-awaited items being added into its in-game store. The first (and probably most requested) addition to the store is Black Dye. Players will now be able to dye their weapons, armors, mount skins, and more with this all-new black dye, which is already being seen throughout Aeternum.
      The new "Wraith Black" dye pack can be purchased in the in-game store for 3,000 marks of fortune.

      Additionally, hippos are finally in New World: Aeternum! With the official launch of New World, players shared memes and posts around why there were not hippos within the game. One user even published daily posts in their forum, calling out "Day X of no hippos in New World", with the posts reaching several hundred days long.
      The developers must have been listening, as they added a new bear mount skin to the game, labeled as "Hippo Burley", allowing players to transform their bear mounts into hippos (pictured below). 
      The new "Hippo Burley" bear mount skin can be purchased for 20,000 marks of fortune in the in-game store.
